A viral video circulating on social media shows a shirtless ‘Israeli’ soldier filming himself at a military outpost in Gaza, proudly declaring himself the "1st IDF SOLDIER TO RUN MARATHON IN GAZA."
The roughly 26-second clip, which has drawn sharp criticism, features the man jogging amid concrete barriers and gravel terrain.
In the footage, the soldier boasts about completing "140 laps around Gaza outpost," flashing a thumbs-up and pointing emphatically at the camera.
The footage has drawn sharp criticism as the soldier celebrates his “presence” in a devastated area still reeling from intense conflict, civilian casualties, and displacement.
This is indistinguishable from something that Nazis would’ve posted. I cannot articulate the anger I have towards this man. pic.twitter.com/4blY7vSVJU
